  1. Yeah well there's a question of who his daddy actually is? Look at his 4 brothers and sisters. All have the same fair haired fair skinned father. They all have fair haired fair skinned mothers. The other 4 are all fair haired and fair skinned while Don Jr has dark hair and an olive complexion. It has been pointed out by other people that while Don Snr was having his fun on the side that Ivana Trump was rumoured to have had a fling with Vince McMahon the Wrestling Promoter. Have a look at Don Jr's facial features and Vince McMahon. Have a look at the facial features of Eric and Barron Trump to Don Snr. At the very least it raises a question.

  2. It must be some form of early onset dementia. Every time you think the GOP and their media goons can't get any dumber they get dumber. Have a look at this from Ted (watch me accuse the Dems of what I do) Cruz -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQcBbvLOJR8

  3. Richard Wolff the Marxist Economist gave the answer you are looking for during one of the Michael Brooks tribute shows. Its still here on YT. It was titled "Panel 3 THE MICHAEL BROOKS TRIBUTE SERIES: Mark Blyth, Ben Burgis, & Richard Wolff & David Griscom" and was posted on the 9th of December 2020. his comment states at 52:50 but at 55:00 he says regarding people in West Virginia who HAD PREVIOULS voted Democrat and switched to Trump (punctuation is mine) - ".....they're angry at the Democrats and they're giving the Democrats the middle finger...... I think it's an insult of those people to say of them they're not voting their economic interest. That's not true, they are. Now they're doing it in an impetuous way but what you would you expect. They've been literally screwed for decades. They're going to give you the finger. Its about all they can." I recommend you keep listening for what Mark Blyth (The Scot with Glasses) says about the internal structure of the Democrats. FYI - I'm Australian and 3+ years later I am still staggered the Democrats still wont admit to any of this AND before you ask Australia Labor do the same sorts of things here, with the same results and the same levels of DENIAL. I've been watching a bit of British stuff recently and British Labor do similar. There's this common thread through over educated LEFTIST elites that they are superior, they need to manage those beneath them and are NEVER at fault. The Right know when they are wrong. They just just don't care so long as they're in power.

  5. Imagine being an Australian and it was an Australian who inspired this. We had the mass shooting at Port Arthur in 1996 that set a new world record for a mass shooting. We collectively agreed "Never again". We had a voluntary gun buy back and handed back most of our guns. Despite the claims of the NRA we can still own guns its just that most simply chose not to. We've had shootings since including some terrible ones but nothing like Port Arthur. So it was a hell of a shock when Brenton Tarrant did what he did. To hear he was the inspiration for another shooting is the worst. If there is one thing I do hate its that we are not dealing with the root causes of this. Its not good enough to just claim they're crazy, we need to start being honest about what drives them to this point.

  9. Go back and have a look at what happened. Yang was doing fine and then Bloomberg got involved and the Yang campaign picked up some establishment campaign strategists. His Israel-Palestinian comments were just idiotically bad in the environment, BUT what did foreign policy ever have to do with it the New York Mayor? He was badly advised and its just possible he was handed a loaded question where they new what would happen. After all IF these establishment strategists KNEW how to their job - why wasn't he ready for that sort of question. New York is an incredibly mixed cultural city. It has a huge Jewish population as well as substantial populations of other groups. SO WHY WASN'T HE READY? One explanation is they set him up. That or they're simply incompetent.

  10. Like a few others with similar thoughts I think you've summed it up pretty well. I think the Jan 6th public discussion needs to be more focused on holding people higher up to account which, if history is any lesson, is unlikely to happen without a concerted effort. Years ago I watched a documentary called "taxi to the Dark Side." It was about an incident at Bagram Air Base, where an innocent Afghan civilian was beaten to death by 3 US military personnel during a sanctioned "enhanced" interrogation. The 3 US soldiers were court martialed, convicted and given lengthy jail sentences. A couple of them were even interviewed in the documentary. Their remorse over what they did was as obvious as the fact that their lives are destroyed. However their immediate commanding officer was not only NEVER charged or faced any sort of scrutiny they were given a commendation for their work. As for people like Rumsfeld and Cheney they were never even questioned over such incidents. John Yoo the famous author of the torture memo is now a tenured professor teaching Law at UC Berkley. At some point we will need to start holding political leaders and there minions ACCOUNTABLE for their words, actions and deeds.

  11. FOR EVERYONE - This documentary on Tax Evasion showed up in my recommendations last week. YES, the YT Algorithm had a day off or something because its brilliant. It highlights the real problem isn't Tax Evasion its what they call Tax Avoidance. As one person in the doco says these people can afford the lawyers and accountants and auditors to operate in the grey space between what's legal and what's illegal. Its long but worth the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt6O3US9IE4

  13. That second line is actually wrong and it should read: Anyone who doesn't give their life to MY VERSION of Christ worships false gods. (high lighted mine) You'll find with most fundamentalist religious people as well as majority of generally religious people that they barely understand "their version" anyway. Its why they keep following the most convenient source of information. That's what the established ""traditional" churches as well as people like Kenneth Copeland rely on - a combination of wanton ignorance and convenience. And all of that i snot just a Christian issue either - all of them have it or do it.

  14. Henry A. Wallace, Vice President of the United States in the New York Times, April 9, 1944 “The really dangerous American fascist... is the man who wants to do in the United States in an American way what Hitler did in Germany in a Prussian way. The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power... They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective, toward which all their deceit is directed, is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.”

  15. Dude America does have the most generous welfare benefits in the world, its just those benefits only extend to the top 1%. Of course Tucker sees it as generous. Its never taxed his smug condescending ass they way it does others.

  16.  @sushanth262  Your argument would work in any country that has compulsory voting but America doesn't have compulsory voting. Among developed nations it has incredibly low voter turnouts. So that argument that the majority of Americans voted in the Dems and GOP is just wrong. There's also the way that BOTH parties operate, which is to say they'll promise ANYTHING to get elected and do ANYTHING to stay elected. They'll tell ANY LIE they can to scare people, which in America is incredibly effective. Add that to the fact that a staggering number of Americans who do actually vote make their choice based on an incredibly small number of subjects its not that hard to get elected and then do whatever you like. In many parts of America you only need the right stance on abortion, guns and oil/coal and you can elect a dog. That's what Trump tapped into, the GOP are incredibly good at exploiting and the DEMs are hopeless at.

  17. For anyone wondering what that will look like check what happened in Russia to the Aral sea. On the other hand you can expect stonking great floods at some point soon. One of the little things about climate change is that a warmer planet means more evaporation meaning more water in the sky meaning that at some point there will either be massive snow storms or massive flood storms. Ask an Australian about this. After several years of incredible almost catastrophic drought this year has seen record floods. Not 1 record flood but 9 major floods in one year with the latest one going on right now. These are the sort of once in a decade flood and Australia has had 9 so far this year. Some people have been flooded multiple times.

  18.  @raykirkham5357  Dude I am NOT INTERESTED in arguing those sorts of points. This clown has made a claim in one breath and then in the next contradicted himself. Forget Israel-Palestine this clown wants a war with Iran. Do you have any idea how much WORSE than Iraq that would be? For starters Iran is a massive country with more than double the population of Iraq. They have not been successfully invaded since Alexander the great and have been defending their patch for over 3500 years. If America tried using its "other people" in the region into a conflict, it would likely drag the entire Shia population of the planet world into a war and that would drag the rest of the Muslim world into a war and that would drag the rest of us into it. Take the disasters of Iraq & Afghanistan add them together multiply by 1,000,000 and you are starting to get close to how big of a disaster it would be.

  19. I saw the whole show yesterday (my time) and Jamie Kirchick (on Krystal's right) who troped out the standard "inflation is caused by the government spending too much" is such an ignorant clown too. I did engineering and as a option did Economics 101 and even I can understand that prices go up if demand goes up with respect to supply OR supply goes down with respect to demand. I spent a semester (as many others did) where they draw graph after graph of different market types and they said the same thing again and again. "Prices go up if demand goes up with respect to supply OR supply goes down with respect to demand." I'm reading Stephanie Kelton's "The deficit myth right now" and in the introduction she points out that its not a matter of how much any government spends its a matter of where its spending for what effects. She points out that there was no shortage of money when FDR put through the New Deal or Kennedy sent America to the Moon AND MOST NOTABLY there was never a shortage of money anytime America went to war. Government spending can only cause inflation if it does one of 2 things - it pushes up demand or causes a shortage of supply. The other thing that can cause inflation (and we all covered this in Econ 101) is when a monopolised system raises prices. Oil is now around $115 a barrel a few years ago it was $150 a barrel and prices were 1/2 what they are today. None of the neo-cons or neo-liberals can explain that.

  20. If you go into the history of the neo-liberal era Harvard is one of the biggest problems the western world has. In trading on its "merit" it became a target of big money wanting to promote what big money wanted. Just consider how easy it is for ANY Western Government to promote something that has as its architect a "Harvard Graduate." I'm Australian and we have a perfect example of that RIGHT NOW. Our main river system the Murray-Darling has been privatized and the water is now traded in an American style free market. Its operation is almost identical to the energy market that caused the collapse in Texas earlier this year. The architect of the Australian water market is a "renowned Harvard educated economist" it was all highlighted by the German DW news channel in a documentary. I'd like for everyone to watch that documentary BUT YOU CAN'T as you can see because its been taken down. -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oyFRoxuf4g Why is it that a German documentary on Australia's water market has been taken down? Is it because how it exposed just how much of a disaster its been allowing certain market speculators to make insane profits while raising water costs to farmers by so much it has drive them from the farms their families have operated for generations? Almost NONE of what was in that documentary has been publicly discussed in Australia. It had interviews with farmers driven off their farms. It had interviews with market speculators who have made millions. It interviewed the renowned Harvard educated economist who set the whole lot in motion.

  22.  @ethanstump  NOT meaning to question harshly but I doubt the Mormons have 2x the wealth of the Vatican considering the number of Catholics in the world or their distribution or that the Vatican has had 2000 years to collect that wealth. Possibly in terms of wealth in America you are right.

  23. I'm an Australian (Victorian) who went to the U of Illinois on a sports scholarship so I have some fairly strong feelings on this. I find it incredibly sad to see that over 13,300 people have died there out of a population half the size of Australia (12.6 million to 25.6 million) where we have 908. We had 2 deaths on October 28 and 1 on November 30 and none in between. During the same time period over 3000 people died in Illinois, with the BEST day when only 25 died. On other days it was over 100, with 266 on December 2. Having been there for 4 Thanksgiving holidays I can see it is about to get very very bad and then even worse after Christmas when winter is in full swing. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ This isn't just sad or tragic its something else. I hope I don't have to put too many flowers on graves next time I am over there. Where ever you are take care & stay safe. 👍👍🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

  24. You're right in that Kyle has said something stupid deserving of scorn. The problem isn't the Senate its HOW the Senate FUNCTIONS. It was meant (like similar institutions around the world) to provide a voice to smaller demographics and give them a voice in government. It was also meant to provide checks and balances as it does with validating appointments. It was never meant to be a place where an opposition could stall the will of the majority. It was also mean to be a place where they limited executive power which as the whole world saw with the Trump impeachments has totally been corrupted. Concentrating 100% of political power in 1 house doesn't generally work. Most developed countries have a 2 tier system where one tier runs the country and the other checks they aren't doing crazy stupid crap. America's problem is that both houses and the executive are so corrupted by money none of them function as intended.

  25. Australian here - where is all this anger coming from? I went to college in America (late 80s) U. Illinois but had a couple of road trips to Texas and ALWAYS had a great time. I have been back to the states a couple of times since and usually gone through Dallas because its an airline hub and AGAIN always had a great time. I found Texas people to be generally polite and friendly. That whole "Sothern Hospitality" thing is something I have experienced. So this level of aggression seems out of place. One of the things I learnt form going to college overseas was that in almost any cultural group there are those few who try to be the perfect version of that group. They tend to have a fantasy/idealised version of their identity and aggressively defend it. Worse than the aggression to outsiders they are often ruthless to anyone of their group who doesn't comply usually labelling them as traitors. AND YES we have such people here in Australia. thankfully not many but they have these fantasy notions of what they think being Australian means and they have a very narrow limited version of our history. Is that what we are seeing? A fraction of Texan society who are trying to be more Texan than Texas and trying to hold onto some version of Texas that never really existed.

  26. This is not simply an Arizona thing. I'm Australian and we have been also letting this stuff happen. We have the Saudis, Canadians, New Zealanders, Brazilians, Americans, British and others all active in our agriculture sector and they are all buying up water rights or dominating the water auctions. And we let a Harvard educated Australian economist do to our water market almost exactly the same thing as another Harvard economist did to the Texas energy market. All through the influencers and lobbyists on government policy you will find Harvard, Yale, LSE neoliberals pushing that the best way to distribute resources is via sophisticated free markets. The issues with water supplies being bought by corporations who then rape those resources for all they can is a worldwide issue. This year Australia has lots of water. We are right now having our 9th or 10th flood depending on who's counting. Before that it was 5+ years of brutal drought. Next year it might be more floods or the start of the next brutal drought. Either way we will be farked if we don't regain control of our water. This neoliberal nonsense where the economists run everything to the benefit of their backers has to stop. Sadly I think its going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

  27. I recommend everyone go have a look at TCs Wikipedia page and check his education. There is no way someone can get those sorts of academic achievements and wind up at this stage NOT KNOWING exactly what LIES he's telling and exactly what responses he looking for. You can't get into Harvard Law without serious brains and he then finished in the top 10%. If anything that should infuriate people even more because HE HAS NO EXCUSE for what he does.

  29. Actually it makes perfect sense if you know what Trump is doing and the audience he's reaching out to. Go check when Kyle and Krystal interviewed Jesse Ventura a couple of years ago, Jesse described his foray into commentating and how Trump has imitated what he learned from being involved with pro-wrestling. Its EXACTLY THE METHOD Jesse described. Trump is playing the part of a Pro-Wrestling "Bad Guy" and he uses the Vince McMahon line "If you believe it, then its true!" Its still here on YT posted 13 Aug 2022 "EXCLUSIVE: Jesse Ventura EVISCERATES Trump | Krystal Kyle & Friends Podcast" Go watch it and pay attention to Krystal's questions and the answers Jesse gives.

  30.  @lwright1554  Your obviously a Brit. I'm Australian but went to college in America. What we are seeing in America is an amped up version of what we are seeing across the entire developed world. It comes from the inevitable result of Milton Freidman and the Chicago School's economic ideology that "Greed is Good." It started as Reaganomics and Thatcherism but we know call it Neoliberalism. Its not simply 1 concept but a bunch of ideas that when combined have 1 inevitable conclusion the rise of second Robber Barron Era and we are now there. I'm old enough to remember the start of Reaganomics. At the time i was too young to understand any of it, but I remember people saying that he was going to far while others said NOT far enough. I remember Margret Thatchers fight with the coal workers and their union. I also remember the Unions in the 1970s became their own worst enemy with ridiculous strikes where they simply held the rest of us to ransom. So we basically let the Unions die and billionaires rise. One of the great problems now faced is that all of the text books that economists study are written by neoliberals. So there's almost ZERO understanding of other economic ideas in the education system. This is why no matter who does get elected in any developed nation the economic situation never changes. That's because all the politicians and/or their economic advisors all studied the same material in college. Simply put, when it comes to economics there's no other voice in the room except the neo-liberal voice and that's why nothing changes no matter who is elected. Your a Brit - look at Keir Stammer and try and tell anyone he's actually different to Sunak, Cameron, Thatcher or any of the other recent Tory leaders except for Boris and the Lettuce Brain.

  31. You and a few others have made this point. When I first heard Kyle say that. I thought he made a valid point that not all criticism is reasonable, but what you a few others have done is balance that out. That's part of having sensible rational discussions. So - Well done to you and others making this point. 👍

  32. That's a damn good way to put it. I don't particularly feel much for any of these Fox people. They have spent the last 3 decades turning their base into a rapid pack of maniacs. Should we feel sorry that the attack dogs they created are now biting them back?

  33. Ask us Australians about Google and Facebook and avoiding tax using Ireland? After that you can ask us about Glencore and how they've fucked us using African banking? After that you can ask us about the British Virgin Islands were a few hundred billion in un-taxed earnings sits? After that we can discuss the Chinese billionaires who we actually caught and then let them out of 90% of the fines. But out government just committed to $350 billion for new submarines and boats for the navy and that's just some of their spending. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

  34. Thanks for that. I'm Australian and was in Saskatchewan for 4 months late 2017 early 18 and loved the place. It was so like Australia except for all that white stuff. Even the numbers were the same except for the minus sign. For me December and January are supposed to be 30C but that -30C stuff wasn't much fun. Overall I had a really great time in Canada. I have hated to watch how COVID bashed you guys as hard as it has, but this trucker thing stinks. In Oz we have had this issue festering from the early part of the pandemic where the anti-5G and anti-vax peoples used social media to team up. Sure we had some protests but compared to many others they were small. 1,000s not 10s of 1,000s or 100s of 1,000s. And just like your describing the rest of us had had a gutful of their garbage. All this crap about tyranny, how unfair it all is mixed with utter garbage conspiracy nonsense. When I was there the whole Paradise Papers thing was just exploding and just like we had with the Panama Papers a lot of people were exposed and as usual NONE of them went to jail for stuff we'd get life for. Is Justin Trudeau yet another Western spoiled brat with an overdose of self entitlement who thinks his shite is gold? Yeah - but we have those as well. The Brits have those as well. Even the New Zealanders have them, because EVERYONE has them and none of them get that we see straight through their BS these days. And their political opponents are just as transparent and just as blind and deaf. That's one of the biggest stressors across the world right now - their are so many politicians spewing BS and so few with any real solutions that will actually help us go forward. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

  35. You are EXACTLY RIGHT, but that doesn't matter to people pumping political narratives. And its the same for ALL political movements and commentators these days. There's so much shouting that the only way to be heard is to out scream everyone else. Even Kyle is guilty of that at times. The difference is are you making points that can stand scrutiny and that's where so many of the screaming banshees of both the FAR Right and FAR Left fail.

  36. Actually America has been self sufficient in energy for over a decade. Go and listen to one of Peter Ziehan's talks. The American northern shale fields produce sweet light crude and most of the southern refineries were designed to refine heavy sour crude. Normally the tankers only transport crude in 1 direction so costs money to send an empty tanker back to the middle east for another load. So, its incredibly profitable to send tanker loads of sweet elsewhere and have them return full of heavy sour. With prices as they are those profit margins are only better.

  37. Actually America lost it a long time before that. I'm Australian and went to college in America in the late 80s and even then you could see this eventuating. It wasn't obvious but it was there if you look. Americans know there is wealth disparity, what is not discussed is education disparity. I know as we have the same issues here. In many ways its a cold war hangover, we never got over. Think of the fact that most of the communist world collapsed in the late 80s early 90s. Its gone its finished and it isn't coming back. So why are these people still scared of a communist Marxist takeover - its dead and its gone? The Chinese don't run the same ideology as the Russians they moved onto a weird hybrid single party capitalist thing no one yet understands not even the Chinese. The North Koreans aren't communist any more they are an absolute monarchy in everything but name. Even Russia isn't communist anymore they're an totalitarian oligarchy. They just hold elections to confirm Putin is in charge. Most of this bullshit across the western world if from education systems and news services that never upgraded out of the 1950s.

  39. I think the answer is that Piers, like many other ex and current Murdoch people, are far more intelligent than we normally think. Its their narcissism, lack of empathy and most of all GREED that drives them to pump out the garbage they do. I recently checked and Jesse Watters salary at Fox is US$12 million a year. if you take the average working year to be about 2,000 hours. (40hrs x 48 weeks = 1920 plus overtime) then it can be said Jesse earns about $6,000 an hour on that salary. When he recently complained (and this was why I checked) about minimum wage earners wanting US$1 per hour more it would take those people 3 years to earn an extra $6,000. Think of the level of narcissism and greed it takes to say live on air with a straight face that minimum wage earners SHOULD NOT get that extra $1, when you earn $6,000 an hour and it would take those people 3 years to get what you get in 1 hour. Go and check the famous interview (that never aired) where Dutch historian Rutger Bregman told Tucker Carlson he was just another millionaire speaking for billionaires and Tucker lost his cool. Bregman hit a raw nerve and Tucker lost it.

Just look at this and ask if the scorn that's thrown on the media is justified?

  42. The real question wont be the "IF" just as it was with Epstein it will be "WHO" My joke about Epstein was - What did the CIA Assassin say to the MI6 Assassin? "You're tying the knot wrong!" What did the MI6 Assassin say back to the CIA Assassin? "Just shut up and hold him still and don't bruise him or it will look suspicious." What did the Mossad Assassin say as he watched the corridor? "Will you 2 just get on with it I only paid the guards to be gone for 30minutes!" Do you know that Epstein isn't in Hell? The Devil rejected his application for political asylum.

  50. Well what you are highlighting is one of the terrible aspects of modern media. Take 1 person claim they represent others and them blast them and blow the whole thing into another culture war catastrophe. Its classic right wing divide and conquer. Lets be clear about 1 thing Jesse Waters like all the Top Fox presenters is on over $1 million a year. So for him to be crapping on about the working conditions of others at or near the bottom of the wage scale is galling. Just note his own words - "you're not being forced to work. This isn't this isn't slave labor. You've you've applied for a job. You've agreed to the terms and conditions of the employment." Those are the exact talking points neo-liberals have shoved down people's throats for the last 40+ years. Get rid of unions, put everyone on individual contracts and if they complain remind them of the contract they signed. This person might or might not represent others, but lets not forget Jesse Waters is an arrogant piece of crap.
